BOSTON — The Boston Celtics are riding high while Kyrie Irving, Gordon Hayward, Marcus Smart, Marcus Morris and Daniel Theis are all sidelined. Even Lucky the Leprechaun’s status for Saturday’s game vs. the Toronto Raptors.
Despite all the sidelineed key contributors, the C’s just finished up a 4-game trip out west, sweeping all 4 teams.
Is it Brad Stevens’ coaching or Danny Ainge’s team building that has the shorthanded Celtics riding high?
